The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of Blanx Black Toothpaste against extrinsic stains of teeth.
Patients who sign the informed consent will participate to the study.
At the baseline, the collection of Plaque Index, modified Lobene index and Bleeding Index will be performed, giving the instruction for a proper home oral hygiene. Professional supragingival and subgingival dental hygiene with piezoelectric will be performed. Then, patients will be randomly divided into two groups:
Patients will be reevaluated after 10 days, after 1 month and after 3 months, collecting again the indices and improving home oral care.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in BOP - Bleeding on Probing (percentage) | Site-specific assessment of the presence or absence of gum bleeding after the insertion of the periodontal probe for the detection of PPD, detected on 6 sites. Percentage of sites with bleeding on probing determines the BOP%. | Baseline, 10 days, 1 month, 3 months |
| Change in MLI - Modified Lobene Index | The facial surface of each anterior tooth was divided into two regions. The first is the gingival region which was a crescent-shaped band of the labial surface about 2 mm wide adjacent to the free margin of the gingiva and extending to the crest of the interdental papillae of the adjacent teeth. The second is the body region which constitutes the remainder of the labial surface of the tooth. The gingival and body regions were scored separately. Intensity - Scoring criteria:
Area - Scoring criteria:
| Baseline, 10 days, 1 month, 3 months |
| Change in Plaque Control Record (PCR%) | % assessment of the amount of plaque on dental surfaces; it is detected on 4 surfaces: distal, mesial, vestibular, lingual / palatal. The number of sites with plaque is divided by the total number of sites available in the mouth and multiplied by 100. Results indicate the index as a percentage.Scoring criteria:
| Baseline, 10 days, 1 month, 3 months |
